Caring for someone can be a rewarding experience however it can also be very demanding and strenuous.
Additionally, when you’re caring for someone the journey can feel like a battle with the system. It’s often difficult to find out what services you’re entitled to and even more, how you can get those services. It is often common for people to feel reserved and reluctant to go out and shop for services because they fear to lose their current supports.
